Cescy Goal.

that looks like a goal Arsenal would score


except Chelsea won the game, are top of the table after, and Cesc didn't get injured.

Yeah.

A player like Fabregas could make a team like Arsenal title challengers again. Wouldn't you say so?

What's happening there is the magnet is being heated above its Curie temperature, the temperature above which it loses its ferromagnetic properties. The reason it loses its ferromagnetic properties is that the thermal energy is sufficient to overcome the quantum effects the causes the spins of near neighbour electrons to align, resulting in the spins moving out of alignment and the Lorentz force no longer being sufficient to overcome the gravitational force.

I understood magnet.

Nah it just melted.

I teach that stuff and I don't fully get the 'why' of magnetism. Instead of trying, I just show the class this video by Feynman about magnetism before I start!

300euro for Ireland I'd say. I'm in Canada so dunno. Nearly done anway.

Is thermal energy the most powerful energy then?

[oleras]

Is thermal energy the most powerful energy then?

That would be positive energy.

That shit can get you anything in the universe if you just think it.

[Tar.Aldarion]

Everybody knows gravity is the strongest



heh heh heh heh

[Guest]

Depends what you mean by powerful. All forms of energy eventually end up as heat.

Its actually the weakest of the four fundamental forces.

I remember in Leaving Cert physics when doing the chapter on electricity the teacher said there is no actual strict definition of electricity. Is that right?

Do any of them make money?
Lads always seem desperate and just the logistics up there seem a nightmare.
Cant have heavy plant running 24 hours without it breaking down fucking up.
All the costs fuel machinery wages very hard make a few quid.

Just back from watching that Gone Girl film, i taught it was good and not you normal kind of film so quite liked it


Also Today when i loaded up the laptop (yeah I know LOL laptop...Old person) i seems to have been infected with some ad checker or something like that it highlights words on my screen with bold and underlined with a green circle and an arrow coming out of it, if you hoover over the highlighted word so ad appears based on the word, anyone any suggestions on how to get rid of this, i have run AVG and restarted computer still there, i will be running it again, but any suggestions would be welcome

thanks

Was making pate earlier today, and as it smells a bit like petfood in its in-between stages, the thought randomly occurred: do you feed your cats vegan?

Unlike dogs cats can't be fed a vegan diet without supplementation, taurine etc (bitta red bull has it). Testing it out over a while as a lot of cat foods in general have been withdrawn from the market for being bad for cats (making them ill/killing them) so it's hard to get a good feel for a food without research and history of it, also it is more expensive but I should be able to afford that now. I would never feed my cats store bought food though. I;'d like them to get good food, not muck. If a healthy vegan supplemented food is good for them then that's ideal. If not they can eat naturally.

This seems likea good vegan one, been trying it out:

http://plantgoodness24.ie/product/389/1049/Vegan_Pet_Food/Vegan_Cat/Ami_Vegan_Cat_Food_10kg.html

Used by vets etc.
It's their favourite food, tied with their grain free palelol food.

Sure you can, as feynmann says above there are various different levels depending on who you are talking to and their understanding, but to ask how it works and what it is...4 years into a degree about it

Was only topped by LC honours french, a guy randomly asked....Miss can you actually speak french? She got so offended but he was just retarded (no malice), it was as if it just dawned on him, omg she can speak french.

Did you watch it in Blanchardstown and sit in the middle of the front row of the premier seats? I was wondering if it was you (and the Asian woman with you was another clue) who sat down the other side of me and the missus.

I thought it was good for a lot of it, but the end was pretty crap.

Said teacher talked about religion the odd time too actually. She said she was one of the rare physicists that believed in God. Her reasoning was that nature just happens to get everything right. All the things science tries to solve is usually already 'solved' in nature.

We should have a prop bet. €1,000 per person. You can't have ever studied science after school, you have two months of study time, whoever gets highest in zuuts DCU January exams wins the loots.

I'm in. I rate my cramming and exam sitting skills quite highly. What's the exam, physics or something more specific? 2 months of study time is a bit high too, more like 3-4 days is a better indication I think?

half way through 5th year LC English (honours since we seem to be specifying), the teacher asks someone to read a poem and then identify 3 adverbs. Your man pauses and chances three random words. The teacher asks a second person and the same thing happens. She then has a shocked look and goes "who actually knows what an adverb is?". I'd say only about 70% of the class put their hands up. Tbf, knowing what an adverb is isn't actually on the curriculum and I'd bet you could get an A1 in Honours English without knowing what one is

Why are word classifications important to know?

Genuine question.

Without the help of google I can't tell you what an adverb is, but I'm pretty confident in my ability to construct a sentence.

How would googling the definition of an adverb and laying down an imprint of it's meaning into my long term memory aid me in future sentence construction?

Haven't you got a dissertation to write?! No idea on the exam, but fairly certain zuut teaches Physics 101 to first year undergrads. It would be fair enough imo. First off there's the brilliance of learning how the world works, plus then the tension of (anonymised) marks released by zuut at end of Jan.

I'm deadly serious about this btw. As long as you've no formal science education since end of school (which I don't, not even since Junior Cert), then I'll race at least one person for €1,000 to sit a zuut physics 101 exam. If there's enough interest then we can have multiple 1-on-1s.

At the very worst we end up learning how the world works.

Yeah been trying to work my way through a book this weekend...I guess that's what Sunday nights are for.

I don't think I'd be willing to put up €1,000 tbh. I would be interested in doing something just for the sake of the experiment of it. I'd probably have to make sure it was after my own exams too though. Looking at the DCU academic calendar, it looks like yer exams take place in January? If so, this could actually be a runner!

Access to a course outline and past exam papers 4 days prior to sitting the exam, I'd be willing to bet I'd definitely pass. How high a percentage I could obtain, I'm not really sure.

Also, zuutroy might comment how advanced the course is, any course not requiring previous module completion should be graaaand.

they're not really that important (as I mentioned) but it is sorta ironic that you could be studying a subject at Leaving Cert level and not know something that'd be perceived as basic information that you should've learned in Primary School. I also can't remember if it was adverb or adjective, but I suspect it was actually adjective. Not knowing what an adjective is sounds a bit extreme (regardless of the usefulness of knowing what an adjective is).

Strange to wake up to people wanting to voluntarily take an exam! My January exam is just basic physics including mechanics, rotational motion, and thermodynamics and tbh anyone could learn it pretty easily.
The descriptor is here: http://www.dcu.ie/registry/module_co...&subcode=PS122

The solid state physics course on the other hand is much tougher and it would be pretty funny to try and tackle it with no physics beforehand.
